Re: Separating Fresh Water From Pump Toilet
Thanks for the advice folks. I believe there is a check valve of some kind installed now. It's a large unit with a ball valve shut off attached to it designed for residential plumbing I suspect though I can't be exactly sure as there are no markings on it as far as I can tell. I should note that unlike modern trailers our water system is not under pressure at all times when the pump is on. It's old school. Of course the toilet is so old I can't find any info on it on the net.415Views0likes0CommentsSeparating Fresh Water From Pump Toilet
Hi Folks, New forum member here. We recently inherited an old Holidaire 1600 (approx. 1977ish) This trailer is equipped with a manual pump to fill lever flush toilet. Everything appears to be operational. During the install of new water lines I noticed that the fresh water simply T's off from the faucet supply line and goes to the toilet. I had my wife operate the pump to fill the toilet with the toilet supply line off the T and wasn't particularly comfortable with the way the water/air would seemingly come back towards the faucet and fresh water lines so I left it disconnected and just ran a line direct to the faucet. I'd like to get the toilet operational again and was thinking it better off that it have its own supply tank, Am I worrying about nothing here? I would have to imagine that this has been taken into consideration when they designed this toilet but the entry point for the water into the toilet is certainly in a location that can get messy so... Thanks for your advice. Michael2.9KViews0likes13Comments
